@Cartoonman154 The British Government could have forbidden the sale if it wished, but it was a commercial transaction between a Russian aircraft company and Rolls Royce. Britain was bankrupt and the government was borrowing huge amounts of money from the World Bank. If the government had forbidden the sale there probably would have been questions from the World Bank - "What do you think you are doing, son? You told us you would make every effort to trade out of your mess and repay the loans."

Very old fashioned looking cars with mechanical brakes. The competition had modern styling and hydraulic brakes. But at least RR had come to its senses on the engine, dropped the old F-head six and switched to making a clone of the Cadillac Big Block V8 and to using a GM Hydramatic gearbox. I have worked with large industrial diesel engines. RR engines were just as unreliable as other British engines, and not a patch on American engines from Cat or Cummins or Detroit.
